I know there’s been some dead time with the reviews, but I’ve got a bunch in the hopper that I’m just going to kind of get out there whenever I can. First up are reviews of the Toys “R” Us Headquarters for Heroes Bench Press and Snow Serpent. I expected to love Bench Press (and did), but the Snow Serpent took me a little bit by surprise. Check out both reviews at the Rise of Cobra review page, or the links below.
This is Mysterious Stranger’s second time in the Kick Ass Customs feature, and I think most folks will understand why this particular project appeals to me so much. I really love the similarities between Sigma 6 and the Rise of Cobra, and Stranger brings them all together quite well here. Not only that, but he comes up with a very cool story as well.
For the full skinny, check out his post on JoeBattleLines, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.

Anyone who’s been following The Fwoosh or the latest Fwoosh CustomCon has no doubt noticed the excellent Spooks and Fury Force entries that JoeCustoms submitted. Well, now we find out the end result! The JoeCustoms (and JoeCanuck) crew have all worked together and will be auctioning these amazing custom boxed sets off, then will give 100% of the proceeds to charity! A great way to celebrate the holiday season. Check out all of the details below.
JoeCustoms.com is auctioning off their CustomCon entries for charity, the eBay link is right here. They will be donating 100% of the proceeds to the Hasbro Children’s Hospital’s Child Life Services program. This program provides toys, games, and activities, as well as, in hospital schooling for the patients. Check out the details of that great cause here.
If you missed CustomCon on TheFwoosh, here are the entries below:
Spooks is an excellent comic series written by Larry Hama for Devils’ Due, so there are obvious connections to the Joe fan in all of us. Fury Force was reportedly the initial “pitch” that G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero was pulled from when the comic first got off the ground. Some great pieces and awesome parts of history that will certainly appeal to Joe fans of all ages.

To go along with the announcement that Free Comic Day from IDW would involve G.I. Joe #155 1/2, Chris Ryall’s RyallTime blog reveals that it’s just the beginning…
“Diamond recently released information on the Gold-level sponsors for Free Comic Book Day in May 2010. Our book for that level is G.I. JOE 155-1/2, an all-new story that picks up where the old Marvel series (which stopped at issue 155) ended. The book leads into a new REAL AMERICAN HERO series that starts with issue #156. The online cover image wasn’t the final version, though–that one is pictured right here, with art by Augustin Padilla, who’s doing the interiors on this new book. The inimitable Larry Hama scripts, of course.”
Very cool news for the Marvel fans out there. It’ll be interesting to see how everything gets juggled, but it’ll be cool to see where this thing goes.
